The Live Setlists is the app for musicians, bands, and music fans who want to manage, collaborate on, and share setlists — with a built-in player for Apple Music and Spotify. For DJs, musicians & bands Build your setlist from a shared track catalogue enriched with BPM, key, duration, streaming links, guitar tab and lyrics links. Drag tracks to set the running order, add per-track notes (capo, cue, custom key), and override any field for that specific show. Collaborative setlists Invite collaborators (band members, other DJs, clients) via email — editors can add, remove and reorder tracks in real time. Let collaborators vote on which tracks to play — for, against or no opinion — to decide which tracks to keep for your big night. For fans Just came back from a show? Create a public setlist with the artist, venue, date, and every song in order — complete with a concert photo. Share it with other fans, who can save it to their own collection. Announce an upcoming gig with a future date and update the list right up to stage time. Community-managed track data Any logged-in user can suggest a better value for any track field. Suggestions with the most votes are automatically promoted to the shared catalogue, keeping BPM, keys, and links accurate for everyone. A track is missing in the catalog? Just create it, the app will auto-fill all you need. Don't want to use your keyboard? Shazam recognition is embedded. Export as playlist Export your setlist as a playlist to your active Apple Music or Spotify subscription, and enjoy it straight away on your favorite music platform. Play along, from the app Connect Apple Music or Spotify and play your entire setlist from within the app — skip forward, skip back, and the current track stays highlighted as you go. Free to try. Premium for unlimited use. The free tier lets you create up to 3 setlists with up to 20 tracks each. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited setlists and unlimited tracks.
